I have used this for primarily winter driving or hauling stuff too big for the cars over the past almost 5 years.

 

The Good:

Awesome 4x4 and Heat

REMOTE START

Everything works except for the compass- bad solder joint- I repaired it once and it has failed again.

 

I have replaced the passenger side front door lock solenoid, alternator, battery, catback exhaust, swaybar endlinks, rear abs sensor, coolant temp sending unit, serpentine belt, new drivers side front caliper, evap canister purge valve, drivers side mirror, and it has newer tires with lots of tread left- probably more I am not recalling right now.

 

 

The Bad:

Rust

Front wheel sensors need dismantled and cleaned or replaced.

It needs an alignment as it shimmies over 65. I rarely drive this fast in this car so never did it.

Transmission slips occasionally.

Previous owner ditched alloys for hubcaps.. dunno why

Passenger side front brake line needs replaced. The pads are dragging and I already replaced the caliper, pads and rotor- brake fluid is fresh.

EVAP leak sets CEL. Smoke machine indicated it was the purge solenoid, replaced and light came back on, so there must be another smaller leak somewhere- probably in the tank fill lines- depending on how fast or slow it sells I will likely fix this as it is nagging at me.

 

Overall not a bad beater truck, really!

 

Thanks!

Updated pictures. Putting on craigslist now as well- The corvette needs a new battery so I have been driving this guy again the past few weeks. I hope it stays mild till December again this year or the new battery is going to sit 4 months! Edited by hpfiend

I have had lots of interest matching the $500.00 CarMAX offer- to be fair I put it on ebay with a $563.00 starting price. 63.00 fees to list it.

 

It has one bid already so it will sell at this price at least.

 

Here is the link...
